Items We Cannot Move

For safety and insurance reasons, certain items are excluded:

• Illegal items of any kind.
• Open containers of liquids that may leak and cause damage.
• Live animals or pets (we can advise on pet transport options).

If you have unusual, very heavy or specialist items (such as a piano or large safe), please let us know in advance so we can plan the correct equipment and team.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with the details of your move – addresses, access information, dates and what needs moving. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of items, access conditions and distance. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras, and we explain any potential additional charges before you book.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex flat moves, we carry out a brief survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an onsite visit in Greenwich. We check parking, stairs or lift access, loading bays and any building restrictions. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, number of trained movers and any special equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – Our team packs your flat using quality materials, clearly labelling boxes by room.
• Partial packing – We pack breakables and awkward items while you handle the rest.
• Self-packing – You pack your belongings; we supply materials on request.

On moving day, we protect doors, bannisters and floors where required, and we dismantle simple furniture if needed for safe removal.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team carefully loads your belongings, using blankets, straps and appropriate stacking techniques. We plan the order of loading so that items needed first at your new flat are accessible on arrival. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey, and our professional drivers follow well-planned routes across Greenwich and beyond.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we place items into the rooms you specify, not just in the hallway. We reassemble any furniture we have dismantled, and we position large items such as beds and wardrobes where you want them. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through and check that everything is where it should be.

Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in Greenwich

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our flat removals are typically charged based on:

• Volume of goods (size of the flat and how full it is).
• Access at both properties – floors, lifts, stairs and walking distances.
• Distance between addresses.
• Number of movers required.
• Additional services such as packing or furniture assembly.

You receive a written quote so you know exactly what is included. If your move details change, we update the quote in advance so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but it often brings hidden costs and risks: damage to belongings, injuries from lifting, parking fines and longer time off work. With Man with Van Greenwich you get:

• Trained movers who know how to lift and carry safely in confined spaces.
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets and straps to protect your items.
• Fully insured cover for your possessions while in our care.
• Efficient loading and unloading that typically saves hours compared to DIY.

Professional removals are about protecting your belongings, your property and your time.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards with robust protection in place:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – Protection in case of accidental damage to buildings or third parties.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are experienced in handling furniture, fragile items and navigating stairs and lifts safely.

We can discuss insurance limits and options with you so you understand exactly how your flat move is protected.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and your building with respect. On every flat removal we:

• Use protective covers for furniture and mattresses.
• Pad and wrap fragile items carefully.
• Take care in communal areas to avoid marks or damage.

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by reusing durable packing materials where appropriate, recycling used cardboard and planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage.

Real-World Flat Removal Use Cases in Greenwich

• Moving home – One or two-bedroom flats, including moves into new developments and older conversions.
• Office or studio relocations – Small businesses moving between serviced offices or live-work spaces.
• Urgent or last-minute moves – When you need to move quickly due to a change of plans, tenancy issues or completion dates.
• Student moves – Flexible services for term-time and end-of-year relocations, often with smaller loads.

Whatever your situation, we tailor the service to your flat, your timescales and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a flat removal in Greenwich cost?

The cost of a flat removal in Greenwich depends on the size of your property, how much you have to move, access at each address and the distance travelled. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flats may be completed within a few hours, while larger two or three-bedroom apartments take longer and may need a bigger team. We provide a clear, itemised quote before you book so you know exactly what you are paying for and what is included in the price.

Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Greenwich, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If your plans have changed suddenly, or you need to move quickly due to tenancy dates or completion times, call us as soon as possible. We will check availability, advise what is realistic within the time frame and prioritise the essential items so you can be safely moved, even at short notice.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for added protection. This does not replace your own home contents insurance, but it provides an additional layer of reassurance while your items are in our care. We are happy to explain the level of cover, any exclusions and how it applies to your specific move so you have a clear understanding.

What is included in a flat removals service?

Our standard flat removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture and boxes between properties. We place items in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include a packing service, supply of packing materials and disposal of used boxes after the move. Parking arrangements, congestion charges or special access costs will be explained in your quote so you can see exactly what is and is not covered.

How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service usually offers transport only, with limited labour, no formal insurance and little planning. Our removals service provides trained staff, proper equipment, fully insured cover and a structured process from survey to final placement. We assess access, protect your belongings, manage timings and handle heavy or awkward items safely. This reduces the risk of damage, injury and delays, and is particularly important for flats with stairs, lifts, tight corridors or strict building rules.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

For the best choice of dates, especially at weekends or month-end, we recommend booking your Greenwich flat removal 2–4 weeks in advance. However, we know that move dates sometimes change at short notice, so we always try to be flexible. If you are waiting on contracts or referencing, you can still request a provisional slot and confirm once your date is fixed. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to secure the exact time and service level you need.
